Short Summary

Our coral reefs, worldwide, are being depleted by gross negligence and abuse by both people and industry alike.  Many times this negligence is not intentional but can be attributed to a lack of knowledge or simply corporate negligence in the name of progress. 

We believe that neither of these is intentional however, the results are devastating.  In an attempt to correct this issue SeaRest, Inc. is undertaking a global challenge to help and promote the rebuilding of our reef structures that have fallen prey to this unintentional abuse.

Marine Life on the Module   Marine Life on the module 2

Morris Huggins, the founder of SeaRest, Inc., is beginning this campaign to rebuild and restore our reef beds throughout the coastal waters of the United States.  We are anticipating such an overwhelming positive response that this will become a global campaign.  

 

 

Large Cemetery


The corporate business plan of SeaRest, Inc. is for this venture is to fund the ongoing campaign through the introduction of the “Innovative and Environmentally Beneficial Burial Alternative”.  This “Alternative” will also help eliminate our carbon footprint on this earth and at the same time reduce the overwhelming depletion and abuse of our natural resources in regards to the acreage of non-reusable land that we are consuming with traditional burial practices.

 

 

  The SeaRest Alternative :

      Structural Reinforcement and Urn Placement  Placement of Cremation Urn Prior to Concrete Pour

Why we need funding:

The funding that we are seeking will be used for the initial construction and deployment of the first major reef project.  Additionally, some of the funding will be used for marketing and for the furthering of public awareness. 

Each artificial reef module weighs in from between 5,000 to 16,000 pounds depending on the size and configuration needed.  These are made from reinforced structural concrete and limestone boulders that have been designed, engineered and approved to withstand the various currents and conditions present on the ocean floor. 

Module in construction  After Mold Release  Transportation

Stability analysis has been completed by an independent testing facility to meet or exceed the requirements by the state of Florida.  Over the past 5 years, the modules that have been originally deployed have met and exceeded our expectations for stability, growth and the positive impact in regards to attracting marine life, coral growth and creating a safe haven for various crustaceans.

 

 

What you will get:

By viewing the sidebar to the right, you will see what various levels of funding will yield in perks.  As this is an environmental impact campaign, the most substantial perks will not be tangible.  Knowing that you have helped to further a program that is aimed at benefiting the planet and all mankind, this perk is the most important. 

However, the reciprocal perks that SeaRest is offering for these donations are varied in nature from support “thank you” gestures to actual internment spaces in the artificial reef modules themselves.  Featured Below are a few of the perks available.

Brochure Front

SeaRest,Inc. provides a beneficial twofold solution to the problem at hand. Our valuable land resources are preserved for future generations. Simultaneously, the fragile ecosystem of our coral reefs and it's inseparable symbiosis with all other life are improved.

SeaRest, Inc. is an innovative, environmentally beneficial burial alternative. After years of development, SeaRest, Inc has been granted permission to construct and deploy Artificial Memorial Reef Modules in the State of Florida within permitted site locations. These Reef Modules will stimulate the natural growth of coral reefs, increase marine and plant life and become the final resting place for the cremated remains of departed loved ones.

I can't contribute, but I want to be involved:

SeaRest, Inc. is thankful for those that are simply "tuned-in" to the environment and who understand the importance of an ecologically balanced marine environment.  However, not everyone can help with a monetary donation.  There are ways though, that everyone can help.  By simply mentioning this campaign to others or by sending them to searest.org, this nay stimulate an interest in the environment or an interest in our innovative system.  That in itself, is more of a contribution than you might think.  From all of us at SeaRest, Inc., we would like to thank you for your time and consideration.  With your help, we can make that difference"...So Life Never Ends"
